How it works

Up and running before dinner.

1

Set up your family's kitchen

Create your family's own private space — separate from anyone else's, with no public directory to browse.

2

Invite everyone

Send an invite to parents, siblings, cousins — anyone who should have a seat at this table, wherever they live.

3

Start adding recipes

Paste a link, paste some text, or type one in from memory. Add the story and a photo while you're at it.

4

Cook, plan, and shop together

Pull up Cook Mode at the stove, plan next week's dinners, or build a shopping list — from anywhere, together.

Features

Everything a family cookbook needs, and nothing it doesn't.

Cook mode

Big text, one step at a time, hands free.

Step through instructions or see them all at once, with timers automatically detected from the text — "simmer 20 minutes" just works. The screen stays awake, and a badge follows you around the app so you never lose your place.

  • Automatic timers, with an alarm and notification when they're done
  • Screen stays awake while you cook
  • An ingredient checklist you can tap through

Smart shopping lists

Turn Grandma's recipe into tonight's grocery list.

Build a list from a single recipe, a whole week of meals, or a whole party. Identical ingredients merge automatically — 1 cup plus 8 tablespoons of flour becomes 1½ cups — and everything groups by aisle or by recipe. Pantry staples get skipped, and the list works offline in the store, syncing when you're back online.

  • Ingredients merge instead of listing twice
  • Group by grocery aisle or by recipe
  • Works offline in the store, syncs when you're back

Who it's for

For every family that's grown apart geographically, not otherwise.

Grandparents

Make sure your recipes get passed down, in your own words.

Kids who moved away

Finally learn how Mom makes it, without calling her mid-recipe.

Families from everywhere

Keep the recipes from back home in every kitchen your family has now.

Newlyweds & new parents

Two families, one cookbook.

Your family's next Thanksgiving deserves a better place than a group text.
